[Res]

Ok guys, this seriously fails. I've just now been shown a trailer for a documentary that ESPN2 is filming at my school.
Of course, it's about our FOOTBALL TEAM OMGLOLWTFYES WAAOOOHHH GO SPORTS.

I wish I was lying. ESPN cameras have been floating around our campus for the past three months.
Meh. What's worse, all of the teams we play while this is being shot are losing, which I suspect they have been paid off to do so, just so this show will go well.

If you don't believe me, here's the video.

Jeez...
I'm just bent out of shape about this because I hate my school and think they're really overdoing the whole 'athletic' complex of the entire student body. I could go on a tangent, but I won't. I just feel it to be wasted effort.

[Nazē.]

... In the beginning... did that one guy... -spit-? Please tell me they didn't film someone -spitting-.

[Res]

Totally. He probably had half a can worth of dip in his mouth at the time.
I can just about guarantee you all of those players did at one point in time or another during this being filmed. They do it all the time during classes.

[Nazē.]

How sad.

[Bobette]

That does....fail.

That's pretty cool, a few things though:

It's because of all the mucus you get during practice, someone said it's like you perspirate from basically your whole body, and the sweat just goes outside of your skin, but the mucus and the wastes your cells use from plowing through protein during practice builds up in your body, and into your mouth, and the thing most people do it get a shot of water, and spit that out with the mucus, so you don't get one of those awkward spits that's full of mucus, and it stick to your lip or something.

And yeah, most teams are usually given something and asked to lose, we had to do that during another school's homecoming, we got a ton of money for new weights, and basically the whole week, we didn't practice, do scouting reports, do any drills, or work out much, so we were pretty much guaranteed to lose even if we tried our absolute best.

And it's ESPN, what do you expect, it's not like ESPN would do a whole series over their science club, and the thrills of being in Student Council.

Not sure why you hate your school, it's a pretty big honor for ESPN to do a series over your school, a single episode would be amazing, and it's also the show's opener. Plus your school is probably getting paid big time for all of it, sure most of it's going to the athletics department, but some's going to other things, trust me, it always does.

[Nazē.]

Hold on. So they just spit the water-mucus -anywhere-?

[Unrealblight]

Not really, basically no one gets water untill you're done with a certain amount of drills, and then the whole group (O Line/D Line/Backs/Receivers/Kickers/etc.) goes to the sideline, and gets some water together, and if you need to spit/take a quick piss/get any injuries wrapped by a trainer/etc, then you go do that.

EDIT: BTW, if it isn't automatically assumed, then after the team-wide warmup, everyone splits up and goes to their position coach, so it's not like right in the middle of practice, the whole team goes and has spitting competitions or something

[Nazē.]

All right. But he doesn't look like he "went" to do that.

[Unrealblight]

Look at how close he is to the fence, he looks like he's past the sidelines, and I'm pretty sure the coach would be chewing him out for just standing there and getting some water in the middle of a drill, or let the other dude who's in front of him to just walk around.

[Nazē.]

Oh, I was referring to the spitting -anywhere- part.

[Unrealblight]

Well, it's anywhere on the ground =\

I seriously doubt that spitting's going to effect global warming or anything.

EDIT: Where else would they spit?

[Nazē.]

But it is a little... distasteful.

They could spit in a sink, or in a toilet.

[Unrealblight]

So they're supposed to go from the middle of the field, all the way back to the school's main building, find a water fountain, go to the bathroom or dressing room, spit some water, and return to their coach in like 15 seconds?

Call me impolite, but the ground's right there, and you're surrounded by guys that you take a shower daily with, I don't think anyone cares how distasteful you're being by spitting on the ground.

[Nazē.]

Well, that is certainly a conflict, and no one present may care, but I still stand by my point.
